THE WINE

The Istrian Malvasia from the Kocjancic Rado winery is produced with 100% Malvasia grapes grown in the vineyards owned and located around the company in Dolga Krona, very close to the border with Slovenia.

It is essential to know that all the production phases of all wines of the Kocjancic Rado winery (from the work in the vineyard to the final product in bottle) are natural,  no chemicals are used.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and takes place in the second ten days of September. Once in the cellar, the selected grapes are gently de-stemmed and left to macerate on the skins for 2 days favoring  the spontaneous fermentation. The wine ages on its lees, partly in large wooden barrels and partly in steel; it is assembled and bottled with the falling moon, just before starting the new harvest.

THE TASTING

Bright golden yellow. The aroma is elegant with pleasant notes of white flowers that intertwine with hints of anise which in turn leaves room for sensations of salt to close with mineral puffs. Intense and powerful on the palate, it is a dynamic and dry wine with good minerality. Very well balanced. Excellent persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with fish but can be drunk safely throughout the meal.
